Constrained Agency and the Linguistic Constructions of Sexual Identities UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara “Straight-ish”: Constrained Agency and the Linguistic Constructions of Sexual Identities, Desires, and Practices among Men Seeking Men A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics by Christopher Jon VanderStouwe Committee in charge: Professor Mary Bucholtz, Chair Professor John W. DuBois Professor Patricia M. Clancy Professor Tommaso Milani, University of the Witwatersrand December 2016 The dissertation of Christopher Jon VanderStouwe is approved. _____________________________________________ John W. DuBois _____________________________________________ Patricia M. Clancy _____________________________________________ Tommaso Milani _____________________________________________ Mary Bucholtz, Committee Chair December 2016 “Straight-ish”: Constrained Agency and the Linguistic Constructions of Sexual Identities, Desires, and Practices among Men Seeking Men Copyright © 2016 by Christopher Jon VanderStouwe iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My entire journey through graduate school and the completion of this dissertation project was an exercise in love, labor, patience, frustration, innovation, creativity, and humility. Despite several setbacks along the way, including complications to data collection, the need to restart several aspects of the project, and funding challenges that saw me working full-time service jobs while maintaining status as a full time student, I couldn’t be more excited with the project this has become, and the immense growth I’ve experienced throughout. But this journey is not without the help and dedication of so many others around me who have supported me throughout this process. First and foremost, I am eternally indebted to my advisor and academic mentor, Mary Bucholtz, who has been an inspiration and influence on my life in ways that will last forever both personally and academically. I tell this to many people in my life – and mean it every time – that Mary is truly the best advisor that anyone could ever hope to have. Without her patience, guidance, and support, I would not have made it through this effort to see my degree to completion. To the rest of my dissertation committee, thank you for the role you’ve played in shaping the academic in me, in being patient as my project evolved over time, and in your excitement and insightful feedback throughout this process. Jack, our in-person conversations were always enlightening and I respect your amazing ability to force me into thinking more and more deeply about aspects of language that I might otherwise gloss over. Pat, your ability to see aspects of my work and analysis in ways no one else does has helped so many times as I’ve honed my arguments and thought through my data. Tommaso, despite being halfway across the world, you’ve been a strong influence on my academic career and excitement for iv the field of language and sexuality, and have always been a strong supporter of me as a young scholar. The opportunities you’ve provided me over the years at conferences and panels is something I am so grateful for, and a partnership I hope will continue in the years to come. Without my other colleagues at UCSB who stuck by me, sang karaoke with me, visited me at work, shared in our summer cocktail parties, participated in my data collection, and created the most collaborative, friendly environment that I think exists in any graduate program in the nation, this would not have been possible. Thank you to all of my friends, including Shawn, Di, Rachel, Onna, Lynnette, Bob, and so many others who spent countless hours studying with me, Facebooking with me, and also partying with me. Without you, I wouldn’t have made it through. I need to especially provide a shout out to Rachel, who inspired my first analysis chapter on My Husband’s Not Gay and provided editing feedback for this dissertation; Onna, who selflessly helped with creating algorithms and data processing of the comments found in Chapter 3; and Shawn, who has worked by my side developing analysis through conferences, papers, and countless conversations about agency and constrained agency, and for being my partner in crime throughout my years at UCSB. To my academic mentors and influences at conferences such as the Lavender Languages conference, which I have been attending nearly annually since I was an undergraduate student, thank you for your support and acceptance of such an array of scholarship, for providing feedback and opportunities for professional development, and for helping me realize that I have the chops needed to be a language and sexuality scholar. Special thanks to Bill Leap, who was arguably my first mentor in the field when I attended Lavender Languages for the first time in 2009, and who continues to be so supportive. v Thank you to my new colleagues Gail, Casey, Tim, and Michal at Boise State University, who saw something in me when they hired me and brought me away from California, providing me with an opportunity to continue to do something that I’ve grown to love so much. A special thank you goes out to Michal, who would send me threatening texts every day while I was in writing mode to make sure I got my writing done. It worked; I managed to get through the summer without donating to Trump a single time. Thank you also to my non-academic friends throughout my graduate career, who provided me with a chance to have a work-life balance, and offered love and support along the way. All of you are friends who have become family, including my Santa Barbara crew, including Macy, Jenny May, and our entire crew; my LA peeps from when I was teaching at UCLA to make ends meet while trying to figure out how to finish this project, including Andrew, Gabe, Mason, George, Ann, Tony, Jamie, and everyone who came to the wine nights; and my brewery family and regulars from my time working at Firestone Walker Brewing Company who were always there for a laugh, a hug, and a good time, and who were always interested in what I had to say about my research. I am also especially indebted to my newest family in Idaho, where I have met some of the kindest, closest friends I could imagine that have put up with me talking about my dissertation nearly every day since I moved here. Nikoa, Crystal, Richard, and our squad. Minerva, who I can go to with anything happening in my life and always be met with a smile and a laugh. The friends I met through my political involvement locally, including Miranda, Daniel, Justin, Peter, and everyone who I got to know at the state convention, the DNC, and through helping run a state senate campaign, experiences where we had some of the most memorable moments of our lives. vi Thank you also to the crew at the downtown Boise Java who let me sit in their coffee shop every day all summer long writing as often as possible while chugging gallons of iced tea and coffee. And especially to the love of my life, my fiancé Kendall, who has seen me through all of the stress of writing this document as the culmination of several years of research and preparation. I love you with all my heart and always will. I want thank my parents for their support as well, and finally would like to dedicate this dissertation to Grandma and Grandpa VanderStouwe. You were the light that kept me going forward to make sure I would finish this, even when I had doubts about my success and setbacks that I felt may be too difficult to overcome, and I’m so grateful for your unending love my entire life. I love you and I can’t thank you enough. vii VITA OF CHRISTOPHER JON VANDERSTOUWE December 2016 EDUCATION Bachelor of Arts in English (Language Studies), San Francisco State University, May 2009 (magna cum laude) Master of Arts in Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara, June 2012 Candidate of Philosophy in Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara, June 2014 Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara, December 2016 PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT 2008-2010: Teaching Assistant, Department of English, San Francisco State University 2011-2014: Teaching Assistant, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara 2012, 2014: Teaching Associate, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara 2015: Teaching Fellow, Department of Linguistics, University of California, Los Angeles 2016-present: Lecturer in Linguistics, Department of English, Boise State University 2016-present: Advisory Board, Gender Studies Program, Boise State University PUBLICATIONS Book Chapters Submitted VanderStouwe, Chris.

  • Selling Sex, Negotiating Identity
    Selling Sex, Negotiating Identity(ies): Gendered Dimensions of The Whore Stigma and Strategies of Stigma-Resistance Jane Elizabeth Nolan BSc (Hons) Criminology and Criminal Justice A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in August 2015 School of Political Science and International Studies Abstract The importance of stigma in the lives of sex workers has been increasingly recognised by academic research over the last two decades. However, the existing literature has not satisfactorily addressed a number of vital questions about gender and the whore stigma. There has been almost no research which has explored the gendered nature of the stigma associated with sex work, and very little research which has recognised and compared the experiences of differently gendered sex workers. Almost all of the published research in this area, has focused upon the experiences of cisgender female sex workers, and/or has not compared these with the experiences of male and transgender sex workers. Thus, existing research has failed to examine the whore stigma as a gendered experience. This thesis explores and interrogates the gendered dimensions of the ‘whore stigma’, and whether transgender and cisgender male and female sex workers experience and negotiate this stigma differently. Key to the research is the extent to which differently gendered sex workers internalise and/or develop strategies to manage and resist stigma, and whether this is mediated by the experience of stigma(s) other than and/or in addition to the ‘whore stigma’ including, for example, stigma relating to racism, homophobia and transphobia. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with 30 sex workers in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.

  • The UMP - a ‘New’ Party? Findings from Research in Two Federations
    The UMP - A `New' Party? Findings from Research in Two Federations PhD Thesis of Pamela Lindsey Schmidt July 2012 Cardiff University School of European Studies Abstract This thesis examines the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP) as a political party and an organisation through the examination of two party f´ed´erations: Hauts-de-Seine and Yvelines. This is undertaken via a study of the groups within the UMP, as well as by developing a perspective on the history of conflict within the Centre-Right in the French Fifth Republic, retracing the formation of the UMP and conducting questionnaires and interviews with party activists in Hauts-de-Seine and Yvelines. The empirical fieldwork is examined within the broad framework of the party system literature. The UMP is a party that has formed out of a variety of political currents and traditions creating an internally diverse party, and this is examined through a look at the political families in the party and the party f´ed´erations of Hauts-de-Seine and Yvelines to get a view of the party at the point of time of the fieldwork. The thesis examines the party in these two f´ed´erations through the eyes of the party activists in order to understand the party at the base. This seeks to study what the party is on the ground in these f´ed´erations: what groups exist within the party (both in terms of the former parties and political currents), what sort of organisation the UMP is, how the activists relate to the organisation, as well as the relationship between the lower levels of the party and the national party.

  • Chemsex: How to Reduce Harms and Stay Safe
    Crystal Methamphetamine Trusted, evidence-based information for the community CHEMSEX: HOW TO REDUCE HARMS AND STAY SAFE WHAT IS CHEMSEX? Chemsex (aka “Party and Play”) involves using drugs to enhance sexual experiences, often by increasing pleasure and reducing inhibitions. The three main drugs used in chemsex are crystal methamphetamine (‘ice’), GHB (Gamma hydroxybutyrate)/GBL (Gamma butyrolactone) and mephedrone. Other drugs, such as alcohol, cannabis and ketamine may also be used. Each can have very different effects on the brain and body, some of which have the potential to be dangerous. This fact sheet focuses on the effects of ice specifically and talks about how to minimise possible harms when using ice and having sex. Anyone can use drugs to enhance sex, however it is more common with gay and bisexual men. While most gay and bisexual men don’t use drugs like ice, those who do may report using them specifically to engage in chemsex. It is important to note that a lot of men who use ice put safety measures in place to minimise possible harms. CRYSTAL METHAMPHETAMINE AND CHEMSEX Crystal methamphetamine (‘ice’) is a form of methamphetamine. It is a stimulant drug, which means that it speeds up messages between the brain and body. This can make people feel more alert and energetic. There are three main types of methamphetamines (speed, base and ice) and they all vary in potency. Ice get its street name from its translucent, crystallised look and is one of the most potent forms of methamphetamine. Ice often the purest form of methamphetamine and this means that it gives a stronger and longer lasting feeling of euphoria.

Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise.
